SAP Business ByDesign vs MS Dynamics 365

Not going into too many details but here is quick overview between SAP BYD and Dynamics 365.

You can get free trial for Dynamics 365 with limited functionality. You can use CRM and Project modules. So that’s what I did and here are pictures from both of the systems.

Open screen of Dynamics 365:

dynamics_365_first_view

Open screen of SAP BYD:

Both open views are highly customizable, users can add or remove components per their like.

Account (customer, vendor) creation and account master data.

Dynamics 365:

Dynamics 365 account

SAP BYD account view:

byd_account_view

In SAP BYD under account view you will get overview of business related to that customer. You can check invoices, orders, open items etc. in Dynamics 365 that functionality was lacking.

Creating sales order in Dynamics 365:

dynamics_365_create_sales_order

Creating sales order in SAP BYD:

byd_create_sales_order

Create purchase order in Dynamics 365:

dynamics_365_create_purchase_order_add_product

Create purchase order in SAP BYD:

byd_create_po

Since Dynamics 365 offers limited trial and I didn’t plan on making in-depth review of the product this is it. Its just a very broad overview to give some basic idea what these two competing products are.

Some things that I did notice is that functionalities as for example check document, document flow related to particular document and other things which are familiar from both SAP ECC and SAP BYD were missing in Dynamics 365.
